Canada day! Pride! Long weekend! Yay!
Torontonian Diamond Rings a.k.a. John O’Regan has opened for Robyn, makes rad rainbow remixes and is touring North America! Cool stuff right? He’s also has the best Twitter handle – @stayfierce!
So sing along to this cute tune and enjoy your long weekend! Put on some sunscreen and dance in front of the CN Tower!
Enjoy!

My friend send me some pix from yesterday from INQ Mobile’s launch party last summer. That was a fun party. Love this cute one of Renee, Michael & I. Toronto & Canada miss you Renee! Met Michael’s TWIN brother last night.
Updates from Social Media Day & last night coming soon. Thinking about taking the day off for Canada but doubt I can manage to stay away from my computer. Damn, here I am again! Haha
FYI: Amsterdam Brewery is OPEN today.
The money shot.
I love this camera so much. Thank you Olympus.
Katy Perry makes me happy.
Play this. Gonna make you happy too.

Here it is from the show last night. Skeet Skeet baby, mama likes you.
Decided to wear the cute little sequin bodysuit with tutu & fringe from The Australian’s shop. I love this outfit.
Statue of glittery awesome.
I love her mostly cause she’s living my teenage dream. The stage, the outfits, the glitter, the sequins, travel, dancing, the life looks fun & I like it.
Her outfits, the performing, the glitter and sequins, balloons & big fluffy clouds, candy and fun dance moves. Clearly things I like.
The show was very Alice in Wonderlandish with a Katy Perry candy, glitter twist, some meat and a butcher.
Yesterday was a crazy day. Was blog spotted on the street then again at Cobra x 2. Nice job from my babes at Z-List for putting on a good afterparty.
DJ Skeet Skeet aka @skeetonmytwitts. I didn’t realise at the time that HE was the same dude I was Tweetin’ with last year, telling him to home to Toronto etc. He had a great Halloween costume inspiration once.
Good show. Great fun with friends! Had a blast with Brent Winsor, thank you honey for taking me. Don’t know HOW I didn’t get any pix of us. Brent, where is that cute one of us with the Virgin peeps? Any hoots, love her more than before. Wish I got a change to peep her husband though! haha
I’d like to think I had something to do with that. I kid, I kid. We’re SO online and our Social media Day meetup is SO BIG that Mashable wrote about us today. We Toronto peeps know how to have fun. Get social baby.
Props to Michael Nus & Dan Levy for putting this together. Last year I spoke about running the social media for MuchMusic & MTV Canada & this year I’m speaking about building a personal brand. Over 350 people are attending so it’s gonna, kinda a big deal. Wish Mum was here to see me in action. I’m sure someone will have on video.
Last year I was JUST getting into speaking and has my hands in my pockets the whole time. Won’t do that again. What am I going to wear? I should really have planned this out. Hope to meet some new peeps & will for sure see a bunch of familiar faces. Looking forward to it. If you have any questions, ask away!
Stopped by Goodnight Bar (the reservation only spot in the dark alley, Richmond/Spadina) to see Katiya and her new collection of accessories. See her lookbook here. She makes accessories that are right up my alley and is a complete darling. I wear bracelets everyday and hers are now part of my routine.
Thanks for the new gems babe.
This one especially. You know sharing positiveness is part of my MO.
Couple photos from her show last night. When we met at the VOCAB gifting Lounge during MMVAs, her team & I were insta-friends.
Real book cut outs!
I like this guys obvs.
Pride has started in our house. Been rocking to Kisstette Pride Week Mix today. Enjoy!
Walked Brent Winsor to Brocklyn’s house and heard so many sirens on the way. This is where they were going…
One of the units on the South side of Queen just West of Spadina across from CTS was on fire. Spadina/Adelaide/Queen Street shut down. People were evacuated. I saw a couple with their cats in cat cages. Sad, I really hope everyone is ok. I looked serious. One of the restos right there recently went out of business. Other than that, no details to report. These are my photos.
Adelaide East to Spadina.
So many trucks.
Fire was in the building right behind these fighters.
Queen/Spadina.
Queen Street West.
Then I saw an open manhole on my way home.
This is what it looks like inside.

We used to chill on the grass all the time when I was a kid. I love fresh cut grass. Was looking for a four leaf clover, those things are almost impossible to find. New Toms are rad & oh so cozy.
Thanks Mum for the flowers. They’re all from her garden. People don’t really do that much here as compared to NZ I find. Nana could always pull together a boquet from her garden. Mum took a whole bunch to someone the day before too. I want that when I grow up, a beautiful garden.
BTW Mum, the newspaper made my arm all black so when I got home I looked really skiddy.
How cute is she?! Love you.
Keri got to meet Mum first time. Think we might adopt her.
It was so clear out across the Lake when I got home. I could see across to Rochester and it looked bright. So cool to see another country. Heaps of Kiters on the South side of the island. I tried it once. Camped on the beach too.
Hope you have an awesome day!
Saw this on O’Nizzle’s blog today and I dig it. Think you will too. What do you do to be creative?
I like to let my mind wander. I like long walks by myself. I like to play outside. I love my sketchbook. I like to draw with pastels. I cut up old clothes and make new ones. I call old friends. Classical music. Reminding myself I can do anything. Cleaning my closet. Coffee. Painting. Dancing with arms over head. Writing is especially fun for me. I like poetry, reading, writing mostly. Photography & close up shots on the camera. Old music & fun memories. I like watching Annie Hall or Dead Poets Society. I enjoy sitting by the lake. Running in the rain. Friends are good too. I like to let my mind wander.
I guess you could say I’m Borderline Artistic.
Wowza, do I ever feel rested. It’s amazing what a vacation home to parents and heaps of sleep does for your soul & creativity. I’m ready to go back to the city today.
Look at this cute face.
Look again. My first recital at 5, I was a fluffy cloud.
Keri is coming to visit Mum today and meet her for the first time. BFF meets Mama. I’m curious as to what she will say, usually people say we are quite alike. Mum is funny.
He loves me. He loves me not. What does a flower know anyways?
Heading back to the city later today. Caught up on emails & work while I’ve been home. So lovely. Ready to take on the world again! Tomorrow I’m going to Katy Perry! Woo hoo.
